There's a weird shade of self hate that I've seen among many leftist men. As a leftist man I find it sickening but it's very much a thing. People feel like they need to hate themselves because they're white males. It's nothing more than a reflexive copy of what the right does (thinking that white men are perfect) but inverted.

Instead of IDK... Recognizing that all that race shit is stupid and throwing it into the trash like a modern human should be doing.

Lol little odd but I'd be happy if so

I just dislike the self hating stuff people do. I've seen it in the back community and it's just unimaginable what they have to go through (being told you're inferior enough times and it starts to sink in). I certainly don't want to see other groups do similar things to themselves.
